The most recent encyclopedic publication of Times Square Square press and the Federation of American Musicians, Singers and Performing Artists (FAMSPA) came in the form of a 3 volume set on contemporary art and artists: “WORLD WHO’S WHO IN CONTEMPORARY ART: History, Artists and Style” written by Maximillien de Lafayette, an international best-seller and author of 105 books and 3 encyclopedias on art, entertainment and comparative civilizations. This is the world's most authoritative and preeminent biographical and thematic who's who of contemporary artists.
It is rich in data, charts, statistics, in-depth research, comprehensive articles and a considerable number of photos and illustrations. A wealth of information and impressive abundance of data and knowledge in 3 volumes. The 2007 Edition of the World Who's Who in Contemporary Art consists of:
• 3 volumes
• 10,000 entries, names, biographies, categories
• Hundreds of reviews and critiques of major works
• International polls and surveys
• 1,200 pages, oversized, 8.25 by 11.00
• Hundreds of photos and charts
• Newest trends in the industry
• The world's major traditional and innovative art resources, references, sources of information, statistics, noted personalities, and artists of all schools, styles and genres.
This is the first Who’s Who that deals with traditional and innovative artists and contemporary art. Those who read who’s who books, whether they are in science, medicine, literature, and world personalities and celebrities, easily find one common denominator: Who’s who books are dry and stiff.
Rarely do we see warmth and personal touch in those highly respected reference works. Effort was made to avoid this tendency in the World Who’s Who in Contemporary Art. Although it is based upon rigid fact and data, found in or supplied by reliable sources, including those who are written up in this book, unusual findings and material were added. To accomplish this, the world of the artist that is not usually seen or displayed in public was probed. In traditional who’s who books, those listed are usually figures well known to the public or in their own field.
In this Who’s Who you will meet, on equal basis, mega artists and celebrities, as well as outstanding talents you have never heard of. This book is not based on fame and fortune alone, but also on merit. This book brings to you those who are believed to be the best in the business.
The panel of Senior Editors consists of highly respected scholars and art historians, such as Dr. Gisele von Guntenbergersen, Editor-in-Chief of World Art Celebrities Journal. Dr. Inga Schuller. Dr. Gisele Muller-Anderson, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Stars Illustrated Magazine. Dr. Inga Schell. Dr. Erica Soderholm, Editor-in-Chief of Art and Style Magazine. Dr. Kurt Rosenstadt. Dr. Ruth Sielberg, Editor-in-Chief of the International Herald Daily News. Dr. Etienne Leroux, Managing Editor of the International News Agency.

Mughissudin, former dean of the International Programs of the American University. Shoshanna Rosenstein, Assistant Editor-in-Chief of the New York Monthly Herald.
